Details

This right-hand-drive 1956 Triumph TR3 had a no-expense-spared build. Each aluminum panel of the bodywork was hand-rolled on an English wheel, the old-fashioned way. Only the steel cowl remains as factory-built. The doors, hood and trunk are aluminum. The fenders and quarters are widened to mimic the 'Beta' version of the TR3 built just before Triumph began to develop the TR4. It’s powered by a 1991cc 4-cylinder engine that has been completely rebuilt and updated with electronic ignition and a special dual-rail fuel injection system custom-built by McLaren in England. The engine is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive in 3rd and 4th gear for a total of six speeds. The custom British Racing Green paint with the off-white stripe highlights this build. The dark green color and stripe theme is carried through the car, as the engine block is white and the off-white color is carried through the leather interior. The frame is off-white as well. All the wiring, lighting and instrumentation has also been updated. The car is fast and is an absolute blast to drive, as well as being well-sorted and reliable. No detail was overlooked. Even the mount for the spare in the trunk, which includes the same leather and carpet as the interior, is custom, along with the aluminum jack. The car even comes with a cover and a spare paint-to-match front air dam.
